Product Description
"Marvellous, unsettling fun." - "Observer". "Many of Edward Gorey's most fervent devotees think he's: English and dead. Actually, he has never so much as visited either place." - "New Yorker". The inhabitants of the ever-so-popular "Haunted Tea-Cosy" return in a new holiday tale. As we wander off with Edward Gorey into the next millennium our reasons for being here are far from clear. Nevertheless, the master craftsman at his best.

About the Author

Customer Reviews
Tim Burton owes Gorey sooooo much!
The macabre and slightly gothic outlook is so personal to Gorey simply mentioning Burton does him an injustice. A darker outlook on a world that has glances at Lewis Carroll. The earlier in age someone discovers Gorey the better!
